About The Customer
Superdry is a contemporary brand that focuses on high-quality products that fuse vintage Americana and Japanese-inspired graphics with a British style. They are characterized by quality fabrics, authentic vintage washes, unique detailing, world-leading hand-drawn graphics, and tailored fits with diverse styling. The brand targets a wide range of consumers with their extensive product offerings and has a significant presence in the global fashion industry. Superdry products are sold in more than 100 countries worldwide, both from their own branded stores and from other retail outlets.
The Challenge
Superdry, a renowned clothing brand, was faced with the challenge of staying relevant and easily accessible during the crucial retail trading times of Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas. The brand was not just looking to enhance its brand appraisal but also to drive purchases. The main question was how to create a campaign that would resonate with consumers and encourage them to buy Superdry products. The brand wanted to leverage a key consumer insight that in winter, a jacket becomes a part of a person's identity due to its constant use. Superdry also wanted to understand the full impact of online video advertising on both online and in-store sales.
The Solution
Superdry came up with a multi-channel campaign titled 'This is the jacket'. The campaign was built around a long-form film showcasing the brand's range of jackets, with a voiceover by Grime artist Paigey Cakey providing the commentary. The campaign was primarily hosted on YouTube, a platform that could reach the desired audience cost-effectively. Superdry also integrated Google's store visit conversion measurement with location data to assess the impact of the video activity on footfall and sales. The campaign also included partnerships across lifestyle, sport, music, and fashion content creators, as well as a series of videos and partnerships with key media. This ensured that the campaign resonated across all routes to market and could be used effectively by franchise partners.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.
